Lamborghini 60 minutes PartII
« on: April 12, 2018, 01:05:08 PM »
While re-watching the Mike Wallace segment.  Another YouTube segment popped up.  Enjoy!

"Lamborghini turns 50"

From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉 Hawaii.

Interesting to contrast the number of 'suits' with the number of them in the '87 video...   :grin:  Michael Lock is one of them shown.  He's actually better known in the motorcycle business but was at that time the boss of Lamborghini's US business.  Here's a more recent interview: https://www.cycleworld.com/5-questions-ama-pro-racing-ceo-michael-lock

In the interviews he's quoted as saying two things that I find interesting in relation to Lamborghini under VW:  in the 50th anniversary interview when working for them he says they needed to work on "creating the perception that Lamborghini is a friendly brand".  In the more recent Cycle World video he says more simply that "I hated the car business".   

I'd love to have a Countach, the earlier the better.

A nice quote for the Lamborghini factory...."Robots...No way".
